Zundark: Okay based on the link you gave me, I'd say the situation is probably this: Saudi Arabia and Iraq divided the neutral zone. The rest of the world would have no problem recognizing it officially, except that Iraq and Saudi Arabia won't (or haven't bothered to) tell them the co-ordinates of the new border. As a result, they held off on recognizing officially, until they were provided with the co-ordinates. Eventually however they gave up, and just accepted that it was divided without knowing exactly where. Since ISO 3166-MA in normal circumstances is driven by the UN Statistical Division, ISO 3166-MA wouldn't have given up waiting until the UNSD had. -- SJK |
